Carolina Panthers Vs New Orleans Saints

Thirteen months ago the Saints traveled to Bank of America Stadium to butt heads with the Carolina Panthers.  They handily defeated the Panthers 28-10 to end a 7-game losing streak.  A month later the Panthers, seeking to snap their 6-game losing streak, visited the Superdome.  The Saints dug a hole for themselves and wound up losing 41-10.

Saints fans will remember the melee in the first quarter of that game that was sparked by QB Cam Newton making an ass of himself with that damned “Superman” celebration I detest.

Saints QB Drew Brees has a shoulder injury.  If he doesn’t respond to treatment he will sit out today's game and Luke McCown, the guy who pitifully muses in a Verizon commercial, “I wonder why they save those back-ups and not just put them in the regular rotation.  I bet if they just had the chance some of those back-ups would really shine,.” will be under center.  It will be McCown’s first NFL start since 2011.

The Panthers are 2-0 and the Saints are 0-2.  While the absence of Brees could give the Cats a distinct advantage, if Newton plays like he’s the only player on the field, the Saints could force him to rethink his wonder jock mentality.  The Saints’ defense could punish Newton and stretch their winning record at BOA Stadium to 5-4.

The game will be carried on FOX and kickoff begins at 1:00 PM.

GO PANTHERS!

Carolina Panthers Vs New Orleans Saints

The 3-8-1 Panthers visit the 5-7 Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome today.  Kickoff is 1:00 PM ET.  The stinkfest airs on Fox.

If today’s game goes anything like the last matchup between these two teams, the mangy, angry kitties can forget about the playoffs.  I know I already have.

I’m still on such a high after my beloved Bama won the SEC Championship yesterday that watching the Panthers play today would be utterly laughable.  I will instead turn my attention to what I hope will prove to be real games:  Seahawks Vs Eagles, Bills Vs Broncos, and Packers Vs Falcons.

I still can’t believe the Panthers paid ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS for a big weenie like QB Cam Newton.

The only thing that will salvage this football post is some pom-poms.  Please enjoy Top Cat Megan.

UPDATE:  I didn’t watch the game.  I said it would be a stinkfest.  Even though the Panthers did win in a blowout against the Saints, from what I’ve seen on Vine, it was still a stinkfest.  If your QB sucks as bad as Newton does why would you taunt your opponent with an obnoxious “celebration” and a lame ass “Superman” pose?  Newton ain’t no Superman, but his ego is super-irritating.

Pom Poms Rule The Sidelines

Fox is carrying the game between the New Orleans Saints and the Seattle Seahawks at 4:35 PM ET.  I’m rooting for the Saints.  Then CBS will air the contest between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots at 8:15 PM ET.  My hope is that the Colts pull off the win.

I have to work Saturday so I will miss the Saints’ game.  By the time I get home I will probably be able to join the Colts’ game somewhere near the end of the first quarter.

Sunday however, I am off and will be able to enjoy the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers.  Kickoff is 1:05 PM ET on Fox.  That game is followed by the match-up between the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos.  CBS begins airing that game at 4:40 PM ET.

I’m pulling for the Panthers to scratch and claw their way to a win over the NI-NERS.  I like Peyton Manning.  He’s a good guy with a tremendous record as a quarterback so I'm picking the Broncos to win their game over the Chargers.

Them’s my picks and I’m sticking to ‘em.

Go Panthers!
